Sandusky

Sandusky is a city in Ohio and the county seat of Erie County. Its names comes from the Huron word saundustee ("water"), and the first colonists began to settle in the area in 1816, founding the village of Portland. Sandusky was a safe haven for escaped slaves on their way to Canada, and Charles Dickens described the town as "sluggish and uninteresting" in 1842. It developed as a center of paper-making, and it grew to have a population of 25,346 people in 2014.
